Application December 29 1939, Serial No. 311,828
This invention relates to nuts and has for its primary object to provide a sheet metal nut hav- I ing means for retaining itself upon a supporting member,'in proper position for the reception of a screw or bolt.
A more specific object is to provide asheet metal nut of substantially U-shape, with one of the arms ofthe U having bolt or screw engaging means. and being insertable through an aperture adjacent a bolt hole in a supporting member in such manner that the two arms of the U engage opposite sides of the supporting members to support the nut with its bolt receiving hole in alignment with the bolt hole so that a bolt may be inserted therein.
Another object is to provide a nut of'the type above mentioned having means thereon coacting with the walls of the aperture to retain the nut against accidental displacement. The means for this purpose is designed to provide a snap-action during the final stage of assembly of the nut.
Other objects and advantages will become more fully apparent as reference is had to the accompanying drawing wherein the invention is illustrated, and in which Figs. 1 and 2 are top and bottom plan views, respectively, of a nut,
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the nut in an assembled position upon a supporting member which is shown in cross section,
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal cross section of the nut,
Figs. 5 and 6 are top and bottom plan views, respectively, illustrating an alternative construction,
Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section of the alternative construction in assembled position upon -a supporting member,
Fig. 8 is an end view of the alternative construction,
Fig. 9 is a plan view of a modification,
Fig. 10 is a side elevation of the modification,
and
Fig. 11 is a longitudinal section illustrating the modification assembled upon a supporting member.
The nut shown in Figs. 1 to 4 is composed of a sheet metal strip bent into substantially U form, with the arm I of the U being longer than the arm 2, and the portion 3 which connects the two arms extending perpendicular to the arms so as to constitute a shoulder. The longer arm I has a portion thereof extruded and shaped to provide a tubular extension 6, which is internally threaded.
is formed with a hole 8 through'which a belt or screw is adapted to be loosely inserted. Adjacent the hole 8 is a rectangular aperture I, and when the nut is placed in use the longer arm 8 is inserted through the aperture so that the arms I and 2 may be moved into contact with upper and lower surfaces of the member 5, and the internally threaded extension 5 into alignment with the hole 6.
as the nut is moved into place as above described a pair of fingers 8, struck from the arm 2, engage the edge 9 of the aperture l, and portion 3 engages the opposite wall It, to hold the nut against shifting or turning around the aperture 1. To prevent accidental displacement of the nut when a screw or bolt is inserted in the portion 6 a finger I I is struck outwardly from the juncture of the arm i and portion 8. During the final stage of insertion of the nut in the aperture 1 the finger snaps past the edge in and then springs outwardly to engage the underside of the supporting member 5.
The-construction illustrated in Figs. 5 to 8 is similar tothat above described, andreference characters with the suflix aadded refer to the corresponding parts above described. In this The form shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 11 is similar to those above described, and the reference characters correspond to those of the first form with the sumx I; added thereto. In this form, instead 01' forming fingers 8 the arm 21) is bent to form a shoulder 8b which engages the edge 91: of the aperture lb. The portion 8!) is rounded so that as it snaps through the aperture it curves under the edge iilb and beneath the lower surface .of the supporting member 51). A projecting finger lib struck from the portion 3b engages the uppe surface of the supporting membertb,
Although specific embodiments of the invention are illustrated and described, it will be understood that various changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention,
- and such changes are contemplated.
